Anyway, home now. Swung by Cycle Gear on the way to the supermarket this morning. They couldn't be cooler about the warranty on my Revit gloves. Just grabbed a new pair off the shelf and handed it to me saying no problem we'll warranty that (the gloves were less than a year old).

Some cool stuff. Creative, colorful and fun.

Food and Moto stuff looks pretty sweet too.
 
Friday, only 8 bikes. Basically did the same route I did on the XSR the other day but added a coffee stop. It's a super nice loop about 250km. All my other riding this week was alone.

OK, here's a weird one. Have any of you noticed Yamaha has 2 different maintenance schedules for the same bikes. USA 4000 miles/7000km oil changes, Asia/Europe 10k km recommended on the same bike. I assume as an American in Asia I'm supposed to use the USA schedule. :unsure:

Motul 7100 $17usd here vs $29 + tax at Cycle Gear (and that $17 includes them changing it for me + adjusting and lubing the chain)

This was hands down the most difficult travel home I have ever had. My flight got canceled due to a typhoon hitting Taiwan so I stayed at a little resort hotel near the airport for a night. I guess all flights into Taiwan got canceled. Got on a flight the next day which was a couple hours late arriving. Probably 40+ flights to Thailand and I have never had travel this messed up.

Forgot to mention, I had a close call on the XSR. Hit some sand in a corner that was kinda banked the wrond way. The bike slid sideways like I was on ice. I counter steered dirt bike style not even thinking about it and my foot flew off the peg hitting the ground. I didn't fall but there was some serious pucker factor.
